Bush and Kerry Campaign in Wisconsin
Oct 27, 2004 Washington
As the US Presidential election entered the final seven days before the November 2nd election, both candidates campaigned in the Midwestern state of Wisconsin. During the previous four presidential elections, Wisconsin's 10 electoral college votes were won by the Democratic party candidate, but this year, the race is a statistical dead heat.
Republican President George W. Bush campaigned for Democratic votes during his three stop bus tour in the Midwestern state of Wisconsin Tuesday. He said the Democratic Party was no longer led by men of strength and resolve and that in moments of challenge and decision his democratic Party opponent, Senator John Kerry, has consistently chosen a position of weakness and inaction.
Senator John Kerry accused the President of hiding bad decisions on Iraq. Despite the bad news coming out of that country, Mr. Kerry said, the Bush administration has glossed over the reality of the situation there.
Mr. Kerry campaigned Tuesday on a theme of protecting homeland security and pledged to invest an additional 60 million dollars to screen cargo at ports and on planes and hire more border patrol agents over the next ten years. President Bush focused on domestic issues such as family security, the family budget, and the quality of life, all of which he hoped would resonate with voters on election day.

In a universe of electrons and selfish genes, blind physical forces and genetic replication, some people are going to get hurt, other people are going to get lucky, and you won't find any rhyme or reason in it, nor any justice. The universe that we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but pitiless indifference. by online poker
